Figure It Out
IN another communication printed today from Harold Barton,
in answer to a communication from the Ferry twins, the
statement is again'made that the sales tax will injure the far
mer. We quote:
"It would be more Just and -desirable for tha fanners to pay
20 percent of their Income In property taxes than to pay a
percent of their expenditures through the sales tax. Why?
Because the 'average farmer will pay more through tha sales
tax than ha would by the property tax."
Just how our correspondent
comprehension.
The sales tax is an OFFSET
the proceeds from this tax, MUST be expended to reduce the
present property tax. They CAN'T be spent in any other way.
The exact proportion of the
now pay is immaterial. We don't believe there is. a farmer,
however, who will deny that he pays "PLENTY," or deny
that it is THIS tax, added to his personal tax, which is now
making it impossible for him to make both ends meet.
As has been repeatedly stated in this column the sales tax
was passed expressly to help him. If passed, the sales tax will
eliminate his personal tax his tax on farm implements, stock,
equipment, etc., eto. and reduce his land tax, from 20 to 30
percent.
JVJOW assume the farmer's personal property tax is $100, and
his property .tax $100 or a total of $200 a year. (These
figures are arbitrary, used merely for illustration. Let any
farmer reading this, substitute his real and personal property
tax figures for 1932). .
If the sales tax passes his total tax bill will be $80 instead
of $200 the elimination of his personal tax and a 20 percent
reduction on his real property tax. In other words his tax
will be reduced by $120.
Now let's assume, on the other hand, that this sales tax is
passed on ENTIRELY to the consumer that this same individ
ual, for example, must pay an added 2 percent on ALL the
new things he buys, during the year. (This is certainly conced
ing A GREAT DEAL to sales tax opponents, for there is no
doubt, that for the sake of increasing sales volume, many large
retailers, department and chain stores will absorb the tax).
LL right. Then we have on one side, the tax saving of
$120 a year. We have on the other a 2 percent tax on
the farmer's cash purchases during the same year.
Only a little plain arithmetic is needed to show that this
farmer can spend $6000 a year $500 a month and still have
to pay a sales tax of only $120, in other words break even, as
far as his total tax bill is concerned.
Every cent he spends less than that will be money in his
pocket. If his monthly budget is $100 his sales tax will be
only $24 and his net tax saving $96 per year. If he only spends
an average of $50 per month, his net tax saving will be $108
per year, and so on.
LET ANY FARMER FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH HE IS
SPENDING THESE DAYS IN PURCHASES OF FOOD, NEW
CLOTHING, NEW EQUIPMENT, ETC.. ETC, AND HE CAN
FIGURE WHAT HIS SALES TAX WILL BE. Compare that
with his personal and property tax and he can determine
whether this measure will benefit him or not.
a a e e e
"PHAT it will benefit him is certain. The tax is MADE for
the tax paying farmer.
For in addition- to his tax saving, all his sales to the whole
saler or the retailer milk and cream, horses, eows, fruit, hay,
grain, WHAT NOT are EXEMPT from the sales tax.
As far aa the sales tax is concerned, the farmer CAN'T lose.
He can't FAIL to win. Every tax paying farmer in Oregon
should be for it, and so vote on Friday, for only one reason
because it is to his SELF INTEREST, to do so.

July or August, but early In Sep
tember a violent one. I was ter
ribly disappointed, but later de
lighted when It lasted only ten
days. Since then I have not had
an acute attack, and tho this
may be only a coincidence. If I
continue free of the trouble one
would be almost compelled to

Communications
He Can't See It
To the Editor:
In answer to the article by the
Ferry twins, which appeared In Mon-
day'e paper, I wish to submit the., fol
lowing:
They state that large stores raise
their prices In proportion to their
total tax bill and that under the sales
tax, they will pass no more on to
the public than they do now. In moat
all lines, It will be Impossible to add
the 2 per cent tax exactly aa It should
be to each Individual article. There
fore, It la only natural to expect that
the stores will sdd a little more than
the tax in order to make the price
come out even.
The statement that they will pass
no more tax on to the com timer than
thev do now shows ths extreme In
consistency which the proponents of
the sales tax ahow In their arguments.
In a previous article It waa stated
that If the aalea tax were passed, the
large stores would lose money because
of the new tax being greater than the
old. Now. they say that the aalea tax,
when passed on to the consumer, will
be no more than the present tax
which to psssed on. ,
Too, If the sales tax Is to take the
place xf the personal property tax
and part of the general property tax,
then the retallera will pass their
share of these taxes on to the con
sumer In addition to the taxes which
the consumer paid In the form of
grester property taxea which will also
be passed back to him. Such argu
ments aa these which were advanced
by the Ferry twins ahow that they
could not have gone very deeply Into
the new tax.
Apparently the meaning which was
intended to be made In a former ar
ticle to the effect that the farmer
will still pay 81 PT cent of hie pres
ent property tax. under the sales, tax.
was mlsconveyed. That the aalea tax
Is merely a substitution levy Is false.
since It lowers the taxes of the re-
taller and pllea them onto the con
sumer.
In answer to one of their queries
It would be more Just snd desirable
for the farmers to pay 39 per cent of
their Income In property taxea than
to pay a per cent of their expendi
tures through the sales tax. Why?
Because the aversge farmer will pay
more through the sales tax than oe
would by the property tax.
The Ferry twins claim that the con
fusion resulting from non-passage of
the aalea tax would be far worse than
would the passsee of the aalea tax n
respect to the effect on business. Ths
answer la yesl The probable result of
non-pseaAfre would be an Increase In
the Income tax Just what big busi
ness does not wantl Let us look first

If they can get together, the logical
men to center on la' Congressman
Wads worth. He his ridden the repeal
wave back to glory and has & good
conservative record. But will Former
Secretary of the Treasury and Cong
ressman 6 noil, two other New York
white hopes, give up their chances?
The wise onea would like to know.
The Democratic hangers-on thought
4t very good strategy for Postmaster
General Parley to go campaigning
for repeal down south.
Their reports Indicated the states
he visited were certain of going for
repeal anwyay. They point out that he
did not run much chance of being
repudiated. If all the states come
through, he can claim the credit.
Parley la no novice in politics.
It Is supposed to be a secret but
Mr. Hoover personally paya the salary
of a certain worker at Republican na
tional committee headquarters. The
committee did not have money
enough to keep the man. Mr. Hoover
wanted the work done. It costs hira
around $100 a week or more.
No one Is COruMerintr Mr. TTrvtop

Editorial Comment
The Juries Act.
Juries are continuing the clean-up
process down In Jackson county by
convicting the greater part of those
charged with the theft of ballots In
the Sc'nermerhorn case, and have
now convicted Sheriff Schermerhorn
himself.
Tho verdict appears a logical one.
The trouble started when candidates
who opposed Sheriff Schermerhorn
In tho election demanded a recount.
Immediately after the court had
granted the request, the place where
the ballots were stored was broken
Into and thousands of ballots stolen.
The logical eupposltlon is that the
only persona interested In such a
ballot theft could be those Interested
in retaining Schermerhorn In office.
Including himself, end further Indi
cates a decided fear that the recount
to be made In open court, might well
result In a reversal of the election re
sult. This Indicated dread point out
the probability that all was not right
when the votes were counted and la
further evidence of the political mud
hole Into which the county had
slipped. Astoria Budget-Astorlan.
Sheriff Schermerhorn of Jackson
county Is found guilty of complicity
in the ballot theft of last Februray.
The sheriff was a member of the so
called reform party that was animat
ed to turn the rascals' out of th
court house, but was evidently so In
tent on holding power Itself that It
practiced a little rascality of lta own.

Ye Poet's Corner
Cobwebs
I raveled a drear, dull heartache
To threads ot listless gray,
And dipped them In a molten pool
Where liquid moonlight lay.
I fashioned of them a motif
So fragile, fine and sheer,
And Intricately beaded it
With fragments of a tear.
I hung it in a garden
But how were folks to know
That, which they called a cobweb
Was beauty born of woe.
